Open Seas and Ally Edition

PIRATEY GOODNESS

The pirates of the Treasure Isles have begun sailing back into the worlds of Trove, their cargo holds chock-full of mysterious goods from the lands beyond the Sea of Regret. Find them anchored in any adventure world, and check out the goods they have to trade!

Originally Posted by Developer NotesThis is the first part of our post-sky update and is still pretty early. The seas are still shallow, but this is how you can get some goods like pets, mounts, pearls, and recipes. Currently the pirates are just crafting stations and this will be updated with the larger water update planned as the next big update after the sky one.==ONCE OUR PETS, NOW OUR ALLIES==

Allies-- formerly Pets-- are now more widely available and have some extra special powers. Catch 'em all!

PACK UPDATES

Originally Posted by Developer NotesThe Power Pack is designed to be an obvious single or first purchase from the store. It has wings, a mount, pearls, two class coins (no trade) and more. The Class Pack is a way to get a deep discount on classes if you’re interested in picking them up 5 at a time. These are replacing the starter packs.==STORE UPDATES==

Originally Posted by Developer NotesChaos Chests are low cost chests which have a lot of possible loot from both the past, present, and future of Trove. You never know what you’re going to get and what is available can and will change at any time and without warning.==MOUNTS==

Water no longer reduces movement speed of mounts.

All players now start with 'Slow Sebastion'. A slower than normal mount.

Two new mounts are now acquirable in game: Fast Frank and the Jelly Knight!

ADVENTURE WORLDS/BIOMES

Reduced incidence of Candoria recipe lairs to be in line with the other biomes.

CRAFTING

Originally Posted by Developer NotesWe see the Pearls as essential and the other materials more as ways to ‘cheat’ through the equipment advancement portion of the game. We feel that the Magic Find change also accommodates the function of Prisms in a more gameplay way. We’ll be closely watching the impact of this change.==SHADOW ARENAS AND DUNGEONS==

Shadow Arenas have been updated to be have a staging area, be enclosed, and have a more shadowy look. In addition, staging areas for Shadow Arenas and Shadow Dungeons now feature a Class Changer.

Slightly increased health of enemies in shadow arena/dungeon.

In Shadow Arenas and Dungeons occasionally a random class will be chosen to deal double damage for the duration
